Batch Start

You can use a Windows Batch File (A .bat/.cmd that uses Command Promt) to test a LOVE game without having to zip it up and change the file type to love.

NOTE

This will only work for Windows Users, sorry Mac and Linux!

The Batch File

Open up Notepad or any other text/code editor.

Type in following code:

@ECHO OFF

start " " "%PROGRAMFILES(x86)%\LOVE\love.exe"

or

@ECHO OFF

start " " "Path\To\love.exe"

Depending on where you have LOVE installed.

Be sure to save the file as a .bat or .cmd or it won't work

Using the Batch File

Place your new Batch File into the same directory as your "main.lua" and double click it to run it.

i.e "Desktop\LOVE\Game\Directory"

And BAM! No more zipping your files every time you make a change to your games code!
